Emerge is currently undergoing a few changes. We realized in order to serve you better, we had to make certain amendments to our business, as well as ourselves. We want represent our selves, and most importantly our clients, in the best light possible. How could we make our talent look reputable, if we weren't even looking our best?

As talent, you should ask yourself similar questions.* "Do I appear marketable?"*"Am I making the right choices/steps to get me to the level of success I want to be at?"* "Does my work represent me well?"

Today, I was looking through photos from a fashion show and, not to throw any designers under the bus, but Chanel & Gucci are attempting to bring back the clogs. Are they really bringing back the clog? REALLY?

I was having a yard sale this past weekend and my mother placed a pair of open toe clogs (yes, I know...hideous) out near the front of the drive way. I told my mother that she should just throw the clogs away and that no one will buy them. Also, they will scare the customers away. She still placed the clogs near the front of the drive way. And believe it or not a few minutes later there was a laday smiling from cheek to cheek accusing MOI of not being a good sales person. She said, "I am not good at yard sales. How much do I want for these?" And in her hand were the clogs! So I told the lady "$20" hoping she would not want to buy them just so no human being would torture his or herself in a pair of shoes like that. Do you think she bought them? Yes...yes she did. Ugh!

The moral of the story is....

THESE SHOES RULE!

over the knee boots

pumps with knee high trendy socks

shiny and textured shoes

purple round toe pumps

concealed high platforms

cut out booties

fur booties

fringed foot wear

THESE SHOES SUCK!

clogs

mules

Just type in "gucci clogs" in google and see for yourself.

Also look on Youtube under "these shoes rule and these shoes suck" and see other's opnions.

If you Google "fashion police" numerous articles pop up, from: Celebrity Fashion E! Online to The Fashion Police Fashion Blog in the UK and US. They even go as far as having a website, www.fashionpolice.org, where you can report people who you think violate fashion.

"Fashion Police" is a term which refers to the idea of an imaginary police force that makes sure that people dress according to fashion." (Wikipedia) Hmmmmmm.... Let's look up fashion and see what the definition of that word means. Fashion: "a general term for the style and custom prevalant at a given time...refers to costume or clothing style." (Wikipedia)

But who gives fashion police the right to criticize or ridicule people for how they dress? I'll tell you who gives them the right...THEY DO! They are self-appointed!! WHAT? These so-called self-appointed fashion police, who make their living off of making fun of other's clothing, do nothing but lower self-esteem and limit self-expression. Everyone should be able to dress how they want. Fashion is a personal style that expresses who you are to the world. No one shoul dbe worried about what other's think.

The people in the entertainment industry should take the higher ground and promote individuality and different fashion styles.
